Sumario:Few issues attracted more attention in the nineteenth century than the ""problem"" of women's work, and few industries posed that problem more urgently than the booming garment industry in Paris. The seamstress represented the quintessential ""working girl, "" and the sewing machine the icon of ""modern"" femininity.
